Abstract

This volume explores the issue of who is Indigenous by focusing on the sociohistorical transformations over the past two millennia of the Ch'orti' Maya. The language of elite writers in Classic Maya civilization was Proto-Ch'olan, but by the end of the colonial period (1524-1821) few Ch'orti' speakers remained.--Provided by publisher.
